Coming soon : George Town

Last week I was visiting George Town, in Penang, for my third time …ALONE.

I do love George Town.

For its heritage architecture, for the cultural blend, for the food and for its friendly inhabitants.

Soon I will post some short articles about

• the Penang Heritage Trust (already introduced in Heritage Guides post): if you want a special architecture tour ask for  Joann Khaw.
• the Anak Kota Project and their Balik Pulau heritage trails
• Areca books publisher based in Penang dedicated to heritage, culture and environement.
• The Cheon Fatt Tze Mansion, the best Heritage guesthouse in town.

If you can’t wait until then at least you can contact them directly. 

Ask for the George Town Heritage Site Map (first edition Dec.08) at the tourist information center or at PHT office. On the map you can find the Heritage trails, the traditional trades, a brief history of Penang, a selection of eateries, hotels and shops,  the eco-attrations, a map of the island and information about transport. Free of charge.
